Jenny Everywhere: Camera Shy (commentary)

[scott_sanford]

When I rediscovered this I found that it was a much better story than I’d remembered it being. Light and quick, yes, but that works well for Jenny Everywhere adventures.

Why this one is written in the first person I no longer remember. Maybe I was just trying out new things and it fit the story.

This is clearly the same Jenny as in Parallax, now with a much more pleasant challenge. She would approve.

And she’s living with Kim, a situation which I imagine must involve an interesting story itself.

This is the last of my stories to survive from this period. I know there were other pieces started but unless there are hidden files lost in an old hard drive archive somewhere, not even the notes survive. It’s too bad; I know there were at least a few hundred words written about a child Jenny growing up on a farm and wondering about her mother’s old biplane hidden behind the barn...

But we leave off with Jenny feeling accomplished and relaxing over a beer. There are worse ways to wrap up a tale.
